IE Compatibility view for Perfect Browsing experience

Thanks Windows for introducing Compatibility View for Internet Explorer Browser. Today I faced some problem to open some page of my project in Internet Explorer 8 version. This project was build for best support on Internet Explorer 7. Our project was performing very well on Windows XP on IE7. But some features were not showing while browsing using IE8 or above in Windows 7. It was giving some java script (js) related error and pages were unable to open.


Sometimes some website you’re visiting doesn't look right. It shows up as a jumble of out-of-place menus, images, and text boxes. What's going on? One possible explanation: The site might have been designed for an earlier version of Internet Explorer. If Internet Explorer recognizes that the webpage isn't compatible, you'll see the Compatibility View button on the Address bar. Try clicking it. Or just click on 'Tools' on the command bar, click 'Compatibility View' there directly, or click on 'Compatibility View Settings'. If you click 'Compatibility View', the current url's all pages will be compatible with your browser. If you want to compatible other url, then just enter the web address in the page what comes after clicking 'Compatibility View Settings' and then click Add button. Here I am going to set my 'localhost' compatible with current version of IE.


In Compatibility View, websites will be displayed as if you were viewing them in a previous version of Internet Explorer, which will often correct display problems. You don’t need to click the button for a site after you’ve done it once—the next time you visit the site,  IE 8 or above will automatically show it in Compatibility View. (If you ever want to go back to browsing with Internet Explorer 8 or above on that site, just click the Compatibility View button again.)

Now I am able to compatible my site with higher version of IE. Thanks Microsoft again !!!.

Ajmer tour on 18th June '11

Today went at Ajmer, Rajasthan companied by Asim, zuhaib and sameer. Yesterday, Asim called me and asked whether I will go Ajmer or not, as I was previously interested for such kind of tour. I at that time said that I have no problem and affirmed that I was confirm for that tour. So Asim managed our tickets, four tickets. After returning from office, I prepared for the tour. Our cook was absent at that interval, so cooked alone and took my dinner. After performing Isha namaz, I carried a shirt and a cotton pant, and went for Nizamuddin with Zuhaib by auto rickshaw. There at Nizamuddin, Asim waited for us at the Bus stand. But, only we three were present there, the other one was absent at that time and confirmed that the fourth person will not be available.

How to fix World-writable config file /etc/my.cnf is ignored?

The default configuration file of MySql is my.cnf (location: /etc/my.cnf for Linux) and my.cfg (location: Program File/MySql for windows). For utf-8 supported database, there must be an entry of UTF-8 parameter in my.cfg file. But sometime mysql does use the my.cnf file from other location than /etc/my.cnf. If you change the required parameter in /etc/my.cnf file, it may not be reflected in database. An error: 'World-writable config file /etc/my.cnf is ignored ' will come while executing the mysqld demon. Just change its permission . $ chmod 644 /e tc/my.cnf  and execute  the mysqld demon. $ mysqld  start Ref: http://hecode.com/how-to-fix-world-writable-config-file-etcmy-cnf-is-ignored/ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/linux-installation-rpm.html
